Re: Disabled Account [WILDPACKET]

Correct, add the users SMTP address to the Email Addresses Tab. As I stated
before they fall into a blackhole per se. My understanding is that when the
address is looked up in AD then Exchange simply drops the connection. Not
sure about the Authenticated Users question, I believe you could do this but
would have to test this.
